Dear ones,
We have had sad news about two local residents with whom we had relatively close ties. As Michael and I were out and about yesterday, we saw the death notice for Nonno Enrico. Nonno Enrico is the lovely fellow from whom I always bought my olive oil. He is the one who let me have a wonderful day out, harvesting olives and taking them to the press. He was always so warm and welcoming. At the age of 85, though, it was time.
And then, we heard a rumor on the way back up that there had been a death in centro. We were having a coffee when we heard that it was Paola Mancini, our beloved former neighbor Albina's daughter. Paola had a large storefront right as you arrive into town, so apart from the personal loss, it will be a major commercial loss to the town. We haven't yet seen the funeral notice, but we imagine it will be tomorrow afternoon or Tuesday.
Love,
Alexandra
